Etika | Gone But Not Forgotten | A Tribute To The Life of Desmond Amofah

It didn’t take long for Daniel Desmond Amofah -- better known by
his screen name: Etika -- to turn himself into one of YouTube’s
most prominent video game bloggers. After getting his start in
2012, his trademarked High-top fade and bubbly personality made
Etika seem like one of the friendliest video game enthusiasts on
the planet, and at the peak of his popularity, Etika had more than
800,000 followers, or, as he called them, JoyCon Boyz. But
underneath the surface, Etika was battling personal demons that
would wind up being too much for him to overcome. In June of 2019,
after having been reported missing, Etika tragically took his own
life. So, today -- on the two years anniversary of this
revolutionary YouTuber’s passing -- we’re going to look back at his
life and career to celebrate the man for his many accomplishments
while also exploring his fate as a cautionary tale to make sure all
of us are taking care of our mental health.
